Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between thunderstorms and mortality of in-patients.
Methods: Data for in-patients and deaths in internal medicine departments from four hospitals in Shanghai were collected and grouped according to meteorological conditions.
Results: Weekly mortality of in-patients was significantly higher on days with thunderstorms than on fine days. This effect was significant for patients in respiratory, cardiovascular and neurology wards but not in the wards of other specialties.
